A French national... got so excited eating the poutine imported from Canada by the Cdn, who isn't French, but says she is...or maybe not... not sure ..that he, perhaps she... somehow crunched up a perfectly new Cat... blamed it on steering, motor, etc All the while... trying to figure out what the heck is Cdn bacon, back bacon.. and wondering what the heck is the difference with Ham Not that most of us would know any difference from true sliced tenderloin... versus cooked ham.... Have I got this summarized 'bout right? Hehe. Yup.

LianeLeTendre said: I did a couple of deliveries from Guadeloupe to Tortola more than 20 years ago for a company that is no longer in business. I was amazed at how little was aboard those yachts.
I vowed I would never do it again. We didn't have any safety equipment except a life ring on that last boat! If I hadn't been too broke to buy a plane ticket back to Tortola, I would have told them to find someone else. We left Guadeloupe on a Sunday and the base manager there was annoyed that we had disturbed his day off. He couldn't have cared less if the boat was delivered safely or not.
The depth finder hadn't been hooked up, the radio didn't work and the mast light worked for a while and then didn't. We were boarded by the Coast Guard just before reaching Round Rock and were given all sorts of citations. I NEVER do deliveries when the vessels owner is not interested in my personal safety.
